"In my dream, I can walk, run, and move freely... In reality, I can't do any of that."
--Kito Aya


Today, July 26 2009, I just finished watching "One Liter of Tears". a sad story based on a diary from a Japanese girl named Kito Aya. for short, its a true story. I just bought the DVD maybe on the 1st or 2nd week of highschool. I didn't have sufficient time to watch all of its episodes. So, I watch about 1-3 eps. every weekend. But when I bought ToraDora, I used my spare time to finish it instead. That's why the span time of watching One Liter of Tears was cut-off for 1-2 weeks.

Anyways, yesterday during my spare time (exams are finally done, woot!), I decided to watch One Litre of Tears again. I was on the 8th episode already, 3 eps. more to finish it. But the duration time will took 45-50 mins. so I didn't got the chance to watch it `till the 11th episode. Eps. 8-11 were my most favorite episodes. I mostly cried during those times while I was watching. I couldn't hold back the tears.
My favorite scenes were mostly about Haruto and Aya, 'cause I admire Ryō Nishikido [Asou Haruto] and the way he acts around for his love for Aya. The following episodes were often showing about the progression of Aya's disease, and it really brings the tears out of my eyes.

Aya's quotes also moved me. The way they speak about courage and hope to be able to live on. Not to mention Aya's mom, who was always there for her. Indeed, any child would be lucky enough to have Shioka-san as their Okaasan. and Aya's friends, the way they would give their all to help Aya through the difficult times. && Haruto--- who would forget about him? He was the one who snuck Aya out of her shell. He was her knight, and the whole time while I was watching One Liter of Tears, I waited for the words "I Love You" to come out of Haruto's mouth. But sadly, it didn't. I also thought it would never be possible because in Aya's lifetime, there was really no Asou Haruto. he was just a fictional character. But its still kinda nice of them to plot something like that to be included in the movie 'cause Haruto really did a great job to prove his love for Aya. I was also glad that Aya returned
the feelings c:

Overall, "One Liter of Tears" is one of the most touching stories I've watched in my whole life. and what made it so moving is that it's based on a true story and from a real diary. It would inspire people, especially those who have the same disease as Aya's, to live their lives to the fullest, and to do a lot of other things they're scared to do because of their condition. R.I.P, AYA-SAN! YOU'LL ALWAYS BE ALiVE iN OUR HEARTS! ♥


FAVORiTE QUOTES:

Haruto:"I..like you. Maybe. Probably. I, like you.. probably."
Aya:"Arigato."

Aya:"I want to build a time machine and revisit the past. If it weren’t for this disease, I might even be in love. I want to cling to someone’s arm so badly."

Aya:"As I think about the past,
the tears will come out.
Reality is too cruel, too brutal.
I don’t even have the right to dream.
As I think about the future,
the tears will come out again."

“The flower petals are opening up,
each one more than the other.
The flowers will once again blossom in full glory.
Knowing yesterday what will happen to them today,
made me happy.”

"It's okay if you fall.
You can just get up again.
Why don't you look up at the sky, while you're down there.
The blue sky spreads across above you.
Can you see it smiling at you?
You are alive."

"Okaasan, will I be able to get married?"

“Why did the illness choose me?
The word fate isn't a good enough explanation!”


Aya:"Live on, okay? Live on forever..
Haruto:"I got it."

Haruto:"You're sleeping? You're still smiling.."

Aya:"To be able to smile and tell everyone this.. I have, at least; cried One Liter of tears.."
